Job Search: Mergers and Acq for recent J.D. grad

Hi Everyone,

I have a question regarding a job search in the field of M& A. I am a recent graduate of law school and hopefully will be licensed to practice in NY and NJ by the time results are given to me in November. I also have significant work experience in the commercial lending industry. Can anyone give suggestions as to some good places to submit my resume to in NY or NJ? Have any banks shown an recent interest in hiring?

Thanks in Advance
